Review: Sonic Colors

For a mere hedgehog, Sonic sure seems to find himself in a lot of perilous situations. One must wonder if he doesn't go looking for trouble, seeing as how he finds himself in it on quite a consistent basis. I personally think Sonic secretly enjoys the trouble he finds, and feeds off the adrenaline rush he gets from risking his life. Sonic Colors puts our favorite blue hedgehog in the path of the criminally insane Dr. Eggman, with the hope Sonic can once again save the day. So is the day worth saving this time around?

But does this game do the "smarter-than-the-average-bear" icon and his trustworthy friend any justice?

President of Nintendo Possibly A Bigger Gamer Than Most

Stephen Totilo of Kotaku managed to snap a few pictures of the very DS that Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's president, owns.

Review: Professor Layton and the Unwound Future

Is The Unwound Future my favorite Layton game yet? I'm not sure, but if you had told me a few weeks ago that the ending of the professor's latest adventure would have me reaching for my handkerchief, I would have laughed you out of the room. Unwound Future doesn't always fully succeed in its lofty story goals, but it definitely attempts far more than its predecessors, which is admirable in itself. Add the improvements to the puzzle interface, and Unwound Future is one of Layton and Luke's best adventures yet.
